All quite interesting, but does anyone know what happened along the SoCal coast a couple of hours ago?

You know, when the %^&&! wave was supposed to hit?

For record; I know that I can get a rough idea of kilometers by dividing by nine and multiplying by five.
I could never figure out how I'm supposed to know if the hilo is a mile or a kilometer away when it's raining and the only reference is my thumb.
I know that a 650 Triumph is 41 inches,
and I know that Ford believes that 302 inches is five liters.
Guess that I'm OK with the metric system.

(PS: That would be square inches, and Ford also believed that seven liters was 427 inches, so I guess you could get more scientific if you took the additional time. Maybe.)
